Hkambora and Rondro are the cultural bloggers at Foko Blog Club. They both are fluent in Malagasy, French and English and are doing an amazing job describing the diversity and richness of Madagascar's cultural patrimony. When most of the time we read about our fauna and flora or social matters, these talented students from Tamatave university and Majunga school of journalism are promoting an unknown aspect of the Green Island and its population.
